Latest severe numbers...TOR:CON 9 for Indiana 6 for Louisville

Updated at 1:00 PM..... the sun peeked through for a few minutes and then the showers returned. So far, that is helping to keep things quiet around here.In southern Illinois where the sun has been out for several hours, temps are in the upper 70s.Any amount of sunshine here this afternoon will increase the severe threat.

The latest update from the SPC is unchanged........
Louisville is in a 15% tornado risk and Indiana is in a 30% risk.The hatched area is where EF2 or stronger tornadoes are possible.

Damaging wind chances remain at 45% with the potential for winds over 80 mph.

The Weather Channel has all of Indiana in a TOR:CON of 9. This is the highest since the Henryville tornado day.Western and northern Kentucky are in a TOR:CON of 6.

With numbers this high.... you need to stay on the latest weather developments today. If you live in a mobile home, be prepare to leave it before the storms arrive.
Areas of showers and storms continue to develop to our west so it is unsure if we will see an appreciable amount of sun this afternoon.

A PDS Tornado WATCH is in effect for central and northern Indiana.PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION

There is potential for strong to violent tornadoes this afternoon in the watch area. Bedford, Brownstown, Seymour and North Vernon are on the southern edge of this watch.
